POstawaiski Discharged.

The case Of II. Postswalski, who was
arrested last week for peddling goods without
a license, came up before Justice Hawkins
last Tuesday. C. E. Mack was attorney for
Postawalski and District Attorney Keith
acted for the State. The case was tried
befote a jury, and after the evidence was all
in and the arguments made the jury delibet-
ated about three quarters Of an hour before
rendering verdict Of not guilty. Postaw
al,ki is undoubtedly doing a peddling bust
ness in this county, but to evade paying a
peddler's license, which is sac per month, he
has rented room in Dayton in which he
keeps an exceedingly limited stock Of tin
ware. About once a week Mr.. Poslawalskl
brings few packs of dry goods to Dayton
on his blackboard, opens the doors of hi
room and drives around town selling calico,
Bingham, stockings, underwear, etc. He
pays store license, which amounts to SIC
a quarter, and this store is only a blind tt
do peddling business under; but he claim
that he takes orders the same as other mer
| chants in the town and then delivers tn,
goods from the store. 1t is safe TO say how
ever, that MIR Postawalski sells ten dollar
worth Of goods from his packs on his buck
board where he sells one dollars worth o
stuff that has been previously ordered ano
that is brought from his store. However
the evidence introduced last Tuesday ap
pears not to have been strong enough to
convict MIR. Postawalski. Nevertheless he
should be made to pay peddIer's license fol
the kind Of business he is carrying on.

Points About Hogs.

California hog.raisers have finally learned
that there is as much difference in kinds OF
hogs as there is in cattle and horses, and the
stu lie rooters" have gone from their sphere
action and have been replaced by the Poland
China and the large, though no less choice.
Berkshire and Duroc. The principal OBJ
lection raised to the Poland China hogs is
that they are always fat, and when the stub
BILE fields grow short of feed they will not
stand the drive to the acorn fields Of the
foothills; then, too, it is said their meat is
coarse, and not nearly so palatable as it
should be. For this reason many give their
preference to the .'dish faced" Berkshire,
they claiming that the meat is finer grained.
and makes more marketable bacon. They
er breed spoken Of, and consequently are
always in condition for drive TO the acorn
fields. Some contend. too, that the Berk
shire is preferable because it makes a streak
of lean between the fat pieces; though some
growers contend that this is a characteristic
Of the Poland China. There is a second
breed Of Berkshire hogs which ore designat
ed as the "long snooted" that also make a
marketable product, but it is urged agains,
them that they soon become wild and stray
away if not called together. and "corned"
each day. The Duroc meets with little fav.
or among our hog -raisers, but this prejudice
probably arises more from its color (red)
than from its qualities Of meat producing
animal. Each breed though has its advo
Gates, and it is very likely that the consumer,
when he sits down to his sham and eggs"
neither knows nor cares as TO lis name, so il
has a streak of fat and lean alternating, as is
always the case in a weIlbred hog, be it
Berkshire or Poland China.

taking Treatment.
A bone SPAWN is, in sense, incur
able, because it consists of a growth of
bone at the hook joint, usually at the
inner side. which can not be removed.
This SPAWN is the result of infiamma-
ton of the covering membrane of the
bone, and this causes the growth Of
spongy bony matter which in time
covers the joint and makes it solid and
immovable. At the first there is no
lameness, but some heat and tender
ness, hence this disease is SO often left
until it is too late for . cure. II when
the horse is first seen to suffer in one Of
the hind legs the hook joint is examined
and the heat is discovered it is treated
by means of cold water dressings and
afterwarIi by blistering, the bone SPAWN
NAV he prevented. After the new and
diseased growth has started the pain is
intense on movement Of the joint, and
the horse is very lame. Then blistering
must be resorted to. but the bone re-
mains to be permanent cause Of lame
ness whenever the joint is used more
hardly than usual. Blood SPAWN is the
result of Inflammation of the parts oi

is sometimes called blood SPAWN, but is
really a soft swelling about the hook
Joint or on the line of tendons below it.
It rarely causes lameness and is the re-
suit Of effusion Of lymph or serum in the
covering membrane Of the tendon caused
by Inflammation or a sprain. Spavins
are almost always hereditary and the
result of breeding from spawned mares,
but they arise also from middleton:

DANGER OF MEASLES.

Fscts for Pareats Who DO Not Appreciate
the Seriousness II This Disease.
In paper recently read before the
Philadelphia County Medical Society.
DIR. Arthur v. Meigs takes the ground
that scarlet-fevsr is very much less con-
tagious than i. commonly supposed;
much less, in flct, than measles and
whoopinS-cougk; and in proof of his
opinion. he cites the fact, that. while it
is the rule for measles and whoOping-
cough to Affect all the children in a
household. scarlet-fever usually limits
its attack 20 one or two. even though
there may be others who have never
had the disease. and are therefore pre-.
sumably susceptible. There is one point
which the author of the paper does not.
it seems to us. lay sufficient stress upon;
and that is. that, while parents dread
scarlct-fcvcr. they have but little fear Of
measles or whooping- cough, and, being
influenced by that popular impression
that all children must at some time of
their lives have these latter diseases.
they take no pains to isolate the sick
from the well. as they do If the disease
be scarlet-fever. The writer could give
repeated instances where the most rigid
isolation was practised in cases Of
measles, in which but one member Of q
family was attacked. though there were
a number Of others who were presume
bly, susceptible. Until, therefore, the
same scrupulOus care is taken to separate
the affected child from the unaffected
in measles as is done in scarlet-fever.
we shall hesitate to accept the con-
clusion that scarlct-fever is much less
contagious than measles. This will
never be done until parents are taught
that measles is not trivial disease. but
is, in fact. many times . most serious
one. In England the number Of deaths
in five years from measles was 2,1S9;
in Brooklyn in ten years l,0l2 children
died from this cause; and in New York,
during one week. AZ deaths from it are
recorded. This takes no account of the
countless number that are left with inn
paired constitutions and lung diseases.
and who. within very short time after
this attack of measles, appear in the
mortality statistics as victims to bron-
chitis or pneumonia And the samc
may be said Of whooping-cough-a dis
case which. in the period 1859, caused
in England alone IS. $50 deaths.-Sci-
cssce.
